About this title

Synopsis

This work offers a comprehensive treatment of ANSI and ISO standards for the C library. Written by the head of the ANSI committee that standardized the C library, this book is designed to accompany "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. The work includes the complete code of the standard C library and the code has been compiled with C compilers from Borland, Saber, Sun UNIX and VAX UNIX. It focuses on the concepts, design issues and trade-offs associated with library building - programmers will be able to make the best use of the C library and will be less likely to recode something that already exists in a given program. Also included is practical advice on using and implementing all 15 headers of the C library, with one chapter devoted to each section of the library, and coverage of internationalization and the writing of locale-independent programs (topics with which the most experienced C programmers are often not familiar).
